Home Products Development

Home furnishings, textiles, and housewares: fashion and innovation for how we live

Home Products Development explores the materials, manufacturing, merchandising, and
marketing of the home products industry.

Home products is a multibillion-dollar global industry that shapes the way we live
in our homes. From the creative to the functional, this industry constantly translates
ideas into products that drive the consumer market and transform the home environment.

The Home Products Development major offers a project-based curriculum that addresses
the contemporary realities of the home products industry and cultivates critical skills
in the areas of emerging trends, product development, marketing, integrated business
strategies, and presentation. Through hands-on projects and applied research, you
will learn to put ideas into action and develop forward-thinking approaches in all
aspects of home products.

You’ll benefit from a small, collaborative academic environment with a high level
of alumni and industry involvement. Visiting New York City showrooms and attending
major trade shows, such as NY Now, NY Home Textile Market Week, NY Table Top, Highpoint
Market, International Home & Housewares Show, and Maison et Objet, you’ll gain real
industry experience in fostering your career.
